NY Times: "Outside His Political Base, a Canadian’s Trumpian Pitch Is a Harder Sell"

A recent New York Times article titled, Outside His Political Base, a Canadian’s Trumpian Pitch Is a Harder Sell, questions whether Canadians outside of Alberta and the Prairies are buying Poilievre's "anti-woke" Trump-ish agenda.

Key takeaways:

• Poilievre’s populist message is popular in Alberta and Saskatchewan but is seen as too similar to Donald Trump by voters in key battleground provinces like Ontario and Quebec. This makes it harder for him to grow support beyond his political base.

  
  

• Poilievre’s positions—like defunding the CBC, cutting foreign aid, and opposing “woke” policies—energize his base but are seen as extreme by moderates. His ties to Trump-style politics are a growing concern for many Canadians.

  
  

• Prominent Conservative leaders in Ontario and Alberta are divided on supporting Poilievre, and some are actively distancing themselves. This internal split is hurting his chances of forming a national coalition.
